BUNCO

Nancy left me last night for a "Girl's night out". Our church started a Bunco party for the girls. I have always wondered about what that is because my daughter has been involved both in Tomball and San Antonio. I found out that it is a dice throwing game used to raise money for charitable purposes. Now I know.

We are fighting the drought. I have been keeping my cottonwood trees alive by watering. Something I have never done before. I am deep watering my new crepe myrtles in the front yard. The deer keep eating the leaves off of my new rose bushes.

Yesterday we added food to our larder that we could use in the event of a financial breakdown of the country. Nancy asked me what we should get and I told her we needed to call a Mormon to find out what they use in their cache. I don't think that will happen in spite of all I read but I do think we will spend a few more years in a 1930's style of depression with a lot fewer jobs. Although the Internet is providing a new source of jobs that we didn't have back in the 30's that I went through. 200 million cell phones is a new opportunity that didn't exist then.

I got ought of shape the other day watching CSpan. The house was debating the debt bill and time was down to one minute when Nancy Pelosi shows up, takes over and rants for about 10 minutes about how we were attacking the government that is taking care of everyone. Later another woman Representative spoke and was cut off rudely at her one minute limit. Not Nancy. They didn't call time of limit her at all. They need to be fair in Congress.
